Every time you’re tempted to sin and resist it, it is an act of…
Obedience – God made a command and you did it
Humility – You decided you (or at least your sinful self) didn’t know best
Submission – You put God’s will before your will
Distancing – You have put space between you and Satan
Embracing – You have brought yourself closer to the will of God
Wisdom – You acted in accordance to the will of the wisest person in the universe.
And for a Christian – it’s better, because for a person in Christ, every resisted temptation is an act of…
Loyalty – You acted in accordance your commitments to your Lord and Savior
Genuineness – You say you are a Christian, and you’re acting like one.
Sanctification – God is making you more like His son.
Sovereignty – God is ordaining his perfect and prescriptive will through you.
